The term \u2018option\u2019 is frequently used incorrectly in this regard. In that case, it means certain promises that a seller\u2019s estate agent can make to an interested buyer during the negotiation process. For example, a promise may entail an interested buyer being given a few days to consider an offer. The estate agent will strive to not enter into negotiations with other parties in the meantime. The interested buyer can use this time to gather information on their financing or the utility options for the house. You cannot demand an option. The seller and the seller\u2019s agent decide whether certain promises will be made during the negotiation process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In legal terms, an option gives a party the choice to conclude a purchase agreement with a different party on the basis of a unilateral statement.
